Overview

What's On! built an Admissions & Recruitment Assistant for ACU that turned booth curiosity into qualified conversations. Students scanned a QR to mobile or used kiosk tablets to ask degree questions and get a personalised roadmap (subjects, pathways, next steps). Light gamification—mini missions and progress cues—kept them engaged long enough to capture intent and contact details with consent.

The result: +160% qualified leads and +85% Q&A engagement during roadshow activations.

  • +160% increase in qualified leads (consent-based capture of name, email, high school, dream role/company)
  • +85% lift in Q&A engagement via QR-to-mobile and kiosk flows
  • On-the-spot guidance: course/degree answers and a tailored study roadmap
  • Friction-lite capture: short forms, clear value exchange, opt-in privacy
  • Export-ready data: clean lead lists for recruiter follow-up and nurture

What we did

  • Frontend & Backend (Next.js)
  • AI Chatbot

The chatbot didn't just answer questions — it doubled the number of students we could talk to meaningfully. With gamified flows and personalised roadmaps, we saw a 160% lift in qualified leads and conversations that felt human, not transactional.
